Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 146.1: Ah, Someone Died

Seeing Jing Wan seemingly preparing to ‘play dead’ to the end, Li Hong Yuan didn’t say anything, reaching out to touch her face, “Properly rest up, this prince will be leaving now. The rest, this prince will take care of.”

Because of Li Hong Yuan’s sudden touch, Jing Wan felt somewhat annoyed inside. If not for not having any strength, she probably would’ve slapped his hand. However, ‘the rest, he’ll take care of’, what did this mean? Could it be that her getting schemed against this time, he even knew some inside information? Jing Wan still wasn’t sure what kind of effect the things Ruan Fang Fei used on her had, and temporarily didn’t have that mental energy to think about how to return Ruan Fang Fei the favor. However, she didn’t plan on just suffering in silence like this. In the past, she was just thinking of avoiding her, but clearly, for some people, it isn’t just because you want to, the other party will cooperate.

Before Li Hong Yuan left, he lifted his head to look towards Gong mama. Gong mama used her mouth to mouth him two words——-slippery pulse. Actually, he’d already thought of this area of possibility, just he didn’t think of the exact answer. Very good, three times the offense!

“Take care of her.” Li Hong Yuan got up and left.

Just four words, but Gong mama knew, this previous master, wasn’t just instructing, but rather warning.

Today’s matter, needless for Li Hong Yuan to say anything, she was also very guilty. Her guard still wasn’t enough. Just………..

Who would think that Ruan Fang Fei would personally set to the task herself, and even under the public eye in front of numerous people, with her thoughts also this meticulous, impossible to guard against. If not for her arrogance and conceitedness, deliberately revealing a little in front of Jing Wan, and Jing Wan being this careful, just so happening to catch on this bit, having defense against her, have to say, Jing Wan would’ve directly fallen head first today.

If it was anyone else, afraid there would only be complete defeat and fall from grace. Even death won’t be able to wash one clean. The most lamentable would be until the end, one still wouldn’t know how one got schemed against, and schemed against by who. And most importantly, Ruan Fang Fei’s outward reputation was too good, so probably no one would suspect her. This bit was also extremely terrifying.

As soon as Li Hong Yuan left, the Luo family’s manor doctor came to visit again. The reason very simple. He wanted to take Jing Wan’s pulse again. He didn’t believe something like the common cold, he was unable to diagnose. Just now, because there were too many noble personages, he kept silent and didn’t ‘break out’.

“Old doctor just didn’t have an accurate grasp on miss’s pulse, this isn’t your fault.”

That manor doctor blanked when he heard this, stroking his beard, and slightly furrowing his brows.

“Miss right now has just improved a little, so how about coming back a little later. After returning to the manor, still need to rely one your care.” Something like changing the pulse condition won’t last very long. Miss’s pulse right now will probably present a slippery pulse again, so naturally can’t let the manor doctor examine her. Just, this slippery pulse shouldn’t last too long either. Just a scratch on the skin, how much medicine can she inject, and even needed to rely on something else to cause it to break out. If the condition persists for a long time, then wouldn’t that be defying natural order. All things adhere to a balance, thus the time in which the pulse condition persists, definitely would only be short and not long.

The manor doctor wasn’t a fool, and immediately realized there might be something fishy going on, and these things, usually can’t be known by them. If one knows too much, perhaps one will throw in one’s life someday. “In that case, this one will take one’s leave first. If third miss has any needs, don’t hesitate to call for this one.”

Gong mama nodded in reply, having the manor doctor sent out.

“Mama, what effect did the thing used on me have?” Jing Wan opened her eyes and asked.

Gong mama didn’t really conceal from her either, having the matter as well as her guesses all carefully explained to Jing Wan.

After listening, Jing Wan fell silent momentarily. “Mama, say, a teenage young lady like her, how come her thoughts are malicious to this degree? As for the intersecting point between her and I, it’s probably just Jin Qinwang, but her targeting me was clearly before this marriage arrangement. However, I feel, her scheming against me this time should still be related to Jin Qinwang. Otherwise, with no grudges nor resentment, there was no reason for her to be this ruthless. Is it purely because I stole her wangfei position, or she’s actually in love with Jin Qinwang? Jin Qinwang although has a bad reputation,” Jing Wan lowered her voice, as if softly whispering, “for some girls, if the man isn’t bad, they won’t love. If it’s really like this, then do I have grounds to suspect, elder sister-in-law’s incident at the Grand Elder Princess Manor, with the perpetrator getting silenced, that was all her handiwork? And supposing that this deduction is correct, then Jin Qinwang’s previous fiancees, even if not all were crushed under her hands, there should still be a portion that were.”

Hearing Jing Wan’s words, even Gong mama couldn’t help feeling chills all over. Even if wangye schemed against miss’s previous fiancees, he has never killed them, crippled them, nor ruined their reputation, so how can this matter be described as just malicious? Just, for what reason is there for the Ruan family to raise such a young miss?

“Originally, when I asked for this marriage, I was still somewhat guilty towards her, and was just thinking of borrowing Jin Qinwang’s name to give grandfather some more time to establish himself in the Ministry of Appointments in order to stabilize the Luo family, resolving my own predicament at the same time. I only just want a title, not asking for anything else, and further don’t want to compete with her, but now, “Jing Wan slightly lowered her eyes, “won’t cease until death!”

Gong mama sat on the edge of the recliner, reaching out to pat Jing Wan’s arm, “Miss, don’t think about that much right now. These things can wait until later.” With that living Enma in front, where was there still the need for miss, you, to personally get revenge. That’s why, don’t think about these things. Even if you think about them, it’s still for nothing. That’s why, there was no need to waste this mental energy.

Jing Wan smiled, “If I don’t think about something else to divert my attention, I will only feel more upset.”

“It’s all this servant’s fault.”

“How can one blame mama, we didn’t know what kind of method she will use, and what to do is the most reliable.”

The sound of the master and servant pair’s low mutters gradually disappeared. And not long after, Luo Old Madam personally came to deliver Jing Wan medicine.

It’s not like Jing Wan was really sick, and as the saying goes, ‘medicine is three part poison’, so she naturally didn’t drink it.

This matter, no matter who they keep it from they still shouldn’t keep it from Luo Old Madam. Thus, after having the others all ordered out, Gong mama softly had the whole story explained to Luo Old Madam. Luo Old Madam naturally was unable to restrain her anger.

“Grandmother, don’t get angry, it’s not worth damaging your health.”

Luo Old Madam also felt the lingering fear inside, “Fortunately it was discovered, otherwise……………”

Jing Wan leaned against Luo Old Madam, “Since she’s taken the first step, then don’t blame us for taking the next fifteen………..”

Luo Old Madam lightly patted her, “This matter, you don’t need to bother with, might dirty your hands. For Ruan Rui Zhong to raise such a daughter, he mostly likely isn’t a good thing either. Since his daughter pretends to be gentle and flawless, he most likely is also a pretentious hypocrite. As the saying goes, ‘the son repays the father’s debt’, so naturally there’s also ‘the father repays the daughter’s debt’.”

Jing Wan obediently shut her mouth and didn’t say anything. Even if she said it, her grandmother probably won’t understand either. The Head Cabinet Minister should be innocent. After all, as an official of the imperial court, with that many old foxes gathering together, would he be able to disguise himself to the point where no one would notice? This was definitely impossible. However, for him to give birth to such an evil bamboo shoot, Jing Wan still silently lit a candle for him.

Gong mama already had the medicine taken care of.

Previously there was Luo Old Madam blocking, then there were noble personages present, so the people of the Luo family didn’t come to Jing Wan’s place, including Jing Wan’s own mother, Zhang-shi. Afterwards, because of Li Hong Yuan, Luo Old Madam directly cleaned out the place, and when Li Hong Yuan left, he directly left people to guard the entrance, forbidding others to disturb Jing Wan, all the way until Luo Old Madam returned again.

Towards her own grandmother not liking the second daughter-in-law, even along with finding the second son somewhat unpleasant to the eyes, Jing Wan was also quite helpless, but the main reason was still because of her. Thus, she didn’t have the right to comment.

The husband and wife pair have been pacing back and forth outside this whole time. Zhang-shi even tried to peek inside from the cracks in the curtains from time to time. That appearance really was quite pitiful. Jing Wan didn’t know, but Sun Yi Jia and Luo Jing Bo were also outside.

“Grandmother, let them come in.”

“Let them stay outside, wait until you’ve recovered a little.”

Alright, Jing Wan was unable to win against her grandmother right now. It was best to just wait until this passed.

However, because of Jing Wan’s unexpected situation, for the older brothers, it was still okay, but for the younger brothers and sisters below, they no longer were in the mood to play around. Even if they were unable to sit still, they were still forcibly pressed down by their own mothers. Right now, the old madam wasn’t in a good mood. If she were to see the others happily playing around, wasn’t that just looking for trouble?

And it was also because of this, that they probably felt somewhat upset inside.

Because of Luo Old Madam’s favoritism towards Jing Wan, was there not a single one of the siblings from the Luo family aside from Luo Jing Ying that was resentful towards Jing Wan out of jealousy? No, just they didn’t have a mother that imbued them with these nonsensical thoughts, so those repulsive thoughts weren’t that deep. Moreover, for those that were older than Jing Wan, they more or less knew that those things Jing Wan did for grandmother in her youth, they were unable to accomplish. Just based on this bit, for grandmother to favor third younger sister, there was nothing for them to complain about. Thus, they were all rather peaceful inside.

Especially the first branch, Luo Jing De’s first child can be considered to have been saved by Jing Wan. After that incident, the couple were both very grateful towards Jing Wan, and for Wang-shi, this was also the same. As a result, they were even stricter towards the other children of the first branch.

Previously none had ever troubled Jing Wan before, so naturally, in the future, they further won’t. The people of the fourth branch were rather close with Jing Wan. And as for the three shu-born children from the second branch, they also very much revered Jing Wan.

As for the remaining third branch, there were three that were younger than three, the eldest son was disciplined by Luo Pei Shan, and the eldest daughter have always been suppressed and now have already married off. As for the di son, never mind still young, Liu-shi also didn’t let him get involved in the matters of the rear court either————As a result, with the Luo family having more than twenty grandchildren, the only one that was at odds with Jing Wan was just Luo Jing Ying alone, so naturally she also became the most miserable.
